Queen of Hoxton

Queen of Hoxton doesn't operate like a conventional venue hire. It's a bar, a club, a rooftop garden, an art space, and a performance venue — all layered into a three-floor Shoreditch building on Curtain Road that has been a fixture of East London nightlife since 2009. The events team has managed over 3,500 private hires across those floors, and the venue's reputation is built on a specific formula: immersive seasonal theming upstairs, neon-lit energy downstairs, and a creative-industries audience that treats the space as a default rather than a discovery.

Three Floors at Queen of Hoxton

The rooftop is the headline — twice-yearly transformations that turn the terrace into a tropical summer escape or a fire-lit winter hideaway, with up to 300 guests in summer. Below that, the ground-floor bar blends experimental cocktails, eclectic design, and a relaxed energy that works for networking drinks and casual celebrations alike. In the basement, the Discotheque offers an infinity dance floor, Funktion One sound, and a private bar for up to 100, while the main club space handles 225. Full venue hire across all three floors accommodates 500.

Event Hire at Queen of Hoxton

Private hire runs weekdays only, with the licence extending to 2am. The rooftop closes at 10pm due to noise restrictions, but the natural flow downstairs — to the ground-floor bar or the basement — creates a built-in progression from sunset drinks to late-night dancing. Event packages include themed production on the rooftop, customisable photo booths, and a BBQ kitchen in summer. The Mothership Group events team handles everything from corporate socials to brand launches, with a track record that includes bookings from Selfridges and major media companies.

Shoreditch's Cultural Venue

Named after Sarah Lane, the 19th-century Hoxton theatre manager who championed performance and drag, Queen of Hoxton inherits that creative spirit. Liverpool Street station is a short walk away, and the Curtain Road location puts it at the centre of Shoreditch's bar and events scene. For event planners looking for a venue where the atmosphere is built in rather than bought in, this is one of East London's most established options.
